Eighteen years after directing 2002's 'Unfaithful', the 78-year-old filmmaker is reportedly close to signing on for the film project that is based on a Patricia Highsmith novel.

AceShowbiz - Filmmaking legend Adrian Lyne is close to signing on for a return to directing after almost 18 years - to take charge of Ben Affleck's next film.

The Brit is circling erotic thriller "Deep Water" - his first project since 2002's "Unfaithful" - which is based on a Patricia Highsmith novel.

Affleck and Cuban actress Ana de Armas are in talks to play the film's married couple caught up in a murder mystery.

De Armas will have to wait to shoot with Affleck and Lyne if the project comes together - she'll portray Marilyn Monroe in the new film "Blonde" and is also set to appear in the latest James Bond film.
